Last month I asked you to help me out in choosing my next audio book for the long drives home (thanks for that!) and I ended up choosing Frank Herbert’s Dune. Now, here I’ll have to admit that it started out a little slow for me, but it looks to just be hitting its stride so here’s hoping it really takes off over the next couple of weeks and I’ll have a review your way. But next up in the queue is indeed Terry Pratchett’s Guards! Guards!, which will be my first Pratchett book, so I’m really looking forward to discovering what has endeared his work to so many readers.

You’ll have to put up with me for a little while here as for the next few months my face is going to be firmly planted in textbooks where instead of marveling at the exploits of swashbuckling heroes in the realm of fiction I’m going to be knee deep in the ancient Near East, exploring the city-state of Uruk and diving into Mesopotamia — which really isn’t a bad deal given my love for the stuff. Still, just wanted to let you know where my focus would be now that school has begun. That said, I’ll still be around and should have a few things worth sharing along the way, so stay tuned friend.

Reviews

Should you be interested in me reviewing your book, feel free to contact me at the e-mail address above (or contact me within the comments section of a particular post). There will be no responsibility on my part to review a particular book, and I can't promise that I'll be able to drop everything to read it straight way, but I will do my best to leave honest feedback where I can, and gushing praise where I feel it is warranted on the site.

As for the genres I'm willing to review, they pretty much run the gambit, but I'm most interested in focusing on fantasy, sci-fi and mystery/horror for the purposes of the site. Still, I'm open minded and willing to review where able so contact me if you think I can help draw attention to your honest to goodness effort.

The only other provisions are that while I will read small press books, these do not include print on demand efforts at this point, nor do I have the time, interest (or eyes) for reviewing e-books. There may be a few other exceptions in there but feel free to ask away.
